Socks

I love socks! I love wearing them and I love knitting them. I especially love stripey socks! There is nothing more fun than wearing something basically conservative with crazy striped socks.

So imagine my joy in self striping and self patterning yarn, no stranding no fuss! It's brilliant. The purists may frown but it rocks my world.

Here is my most recent sock project, made earlier this summer. I forget the make of the yarn unfortunately, but I thought the colour combination would look great with jeans. My cat Fowler likes them as much as I do.



As I tend to do, I bought way more yarn than I needed so I'm currently making a second pair:


Typically, this sock has looked exactly like this for about a month and a half. I got distracted with some other projects. I'm choosing to justify it with the thought "who wears socks in the summer anyway?" I'll only be able to use that for about another month or so though.
